Ronaldo, who left Manchester United for Madrid in an £80million transfer two years ago, was flattered by Manchester City’s discreet overtures to him earlier in the summer.

Ronaldo said: “I think if I went from Spain it would be to the Premier League – but not now. First we have to win the Champions League. If I went back to the Premier League it would have to be with a club in the north west. I don’t like London.”
That would clearly put City – or his old club United – in pole position.
Ronaldo also spoke of City's offer.
Ronaldo went on: “It’s flattering to be offered like £20m a year – it’s very good, but I spoke to my agent and I think it’s better to stay in Madrid because this year we’re going to be the best. This season we are going to be a big force. Jose Mourinho is staying at Madrid so I stay. If he went to Chelsea then I would have left. I would have gone to Manchester City. But now he’s staying, I’m staying.”
